Le acompaño en su dolor y le pido a Dios que le de la fuerza y paz que necesita para sobrellevar su dolor en estos momentos difíciles, yo se lo doloroso que es perder un ser amado, por esta razón deseo compartir con usted unos textos bíblicos que me ayudaron a mí en momentos tan difíciles como por el cual usted está pasando en estos momentos. Si tiene Biblia le invito a que busque Hechos 24: 15, Revelación 21: 3,4, Juan 5: 28,29, estos textos hablan de una bella esperanza, “La resurrección”, uno solo puede imaginar abrazar a su ser amado que ha fallecido, estos textos nos dan dicha esperanza.

Lamento mucho la pérdida de su ser amado. Estoy segura que está pasando por un tiempo muy difícil ya que la muerte de un ser querido deja un gran vacío en el corazón. Algo que me ayudó mucho a mi es el consuelo que da la palabra de Dios, La Biblia. Si tiene una Biblia, le invito a que busque los textos de Juan 5:28, 29, Revelación 21; 3,4 y Hechos 24: 15. Ahí vera que se nos da la bella esperanza de la resurrección. Esto nos deja saber que en un futuro, ¡vamos a poder ver a nuestros seres queridos nuevamente, incluyendo a su ser amado! ¿Se puede imaginar el gozo que tendremos?

My sincere condolences to you and your family. Revelation 21:4 make this promise, it says: " And he (God) will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will morning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away." What a beautiful promise, we all look forward, from our loving Creator, (Jehovah God, Psalm 83:18). May the God of peace be with you and your family.


Sincerely Yours,
Brandy Molina

I am sorry to learn of your family sorrow. The passing of a loved one is painful. So I'd like to share scripture that may bring comfort.

Phil. 2:1 lets us know...If, then, there is any encouragement in Christ, if any sharing of spirit, if any tender affection and compassion, make my joy full in that you are of the same mind and have the same love, being joined together in soul, holding the one thought in mind...

Rom. 15:4 also lets us know...For all things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through our comfort from the scriptures we have hope.

1Cor. 15:42 informs us...So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is sown in dishonor, it is raised up in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised up in power.

Isa. 55:11 Jehovah promises...So my word that goes forth from my mouth will prove to be. It will not return to me without result. But it will certainly do that in which I have delighted and it will have certain success in that in which I have sent it.

I sincerely want these scriptures to bring hope and help your family comfort.
